The
Ocean Science Foundation (OSF) promotes research
on coral reefs and other endangered tropical marine
ecosystems

We
work with conservation, academic and other non-governmental
organizations (NGOs) on projects in developing countries.

Mission Statement: The
Ocean Science Foundation (OSF) is a non-profit
non-governmental organization (NGO) set up to
facilitate research on endangered tropical marine
ecosystems. Our mission is to collaborate with
conservation and academic NGOs in scientific research
projects based in developing countries, especially
projects on the ecology and conservation of coral
reefs. Among other projects, OSF is developing
a 53-foot catamaran as a research platform for
expeditions in the field.

Updates: OSF is sponsoring
the development of a new revised version of Jack
Randall's classic book Caribbean Reef Fishes.
Planned completion in 2015/2016.

The Journal of the Ocean
Science Foundation has now published its eleventh
volume, with ever increasing frequency and wider
authorships. JOSF is especially honored to publish
taxonomic papers by Jack Randall, Gerry Allen,
and Dave Greenfield- all pioneers in the field
of reef fish taxonomy.
